Pastor Roger was expecting a package at his office. Pretty normal day... until he got a notification saying it had been delivered 70 miles away. That’s not just a wrong address – that’s a whole road trip.
After calling the family who received it, he decided to just drive over and get it himself. When he arrived, he met a little boy named Jonathan. Nine years old, battling stage four brain cancer, in a wheelchair and nonverbal. The package mix-up had happened because his delivery got mixed in with Jonathan’s medical supplies.
But the longer Pastor Roger talked with the family, the more he realized: maybe this wasn’t a mistake.
God knew this family needed a pastor. Before leaving, Pastor Roger prayed with them, and soon, his church began surrounding Jonathan’s family with support. They showed up, helped in practical ways, and most importantly, made sure Jonathan knew he was loved.
Recently, Jonathan’s battle ended, and he is now healed in the presence of Jesus. His funeral was standing-room only, packed with people from Pastor Roger’s church, all because of one “wrong” delivery.
Sometimes the things that seem like interruptions are actually divine appointments. “Love is patient, love is kind.” – 1 Corinthians 13:4
